crow4435 Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 i've just always wanted to see these teams in one tournament even if it only offered bragging rights. at one time i thought about OCU but their time has passed since they are more comfortable in a lower class. Go Abe Lemons!!!! lol. imagine the recruits that would come to see everyone in one place 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keenan Henderson Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 College Sports Madness has their top 144 college basketball list in progress. On that list are some of ORU's opponents for next year such as: Missouri State, Texas Southern, and Weber State. Early scouting report for next season.

titansforever Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 I guess we won't be hosting the MBB or WBB championships next spring, though we WILL be hosting men's soccer and baseball. https://thesummitleague.org/news/2023/7/18/general-summit-league-announces-championship-dates-for-2023-24.aspx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titansforever Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I saw Tim Johnson's post that said season ticket order packages are dropping in the mail today. Can the new schedule be far behind? Hope springs eternal! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keenan Henderson Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Last year the Summit League announced the basketball schedule on August 3rd but so far it has been crickets this year. They did say the tournament will be March 8-12th, covering five days. That would seem to suggest that every team will play and on the first day they will have the 8-9 matchup. With Western Illinois leaving, I thought they might go back to just the top 8 teams making the tournament. In other words, just avoid the 8-9 matchup and ORU should not have a problem with that this year. The Eagles should have a good shot at being a top 4 team in the Summit League.

Keenan Henderson Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Are you guys/ladies getting the email about homecoming? They have ORU playing Mid-America Christian University for homecoming on November 10th. Jonathan Alexandre played for them last year.

Keenan Henderson Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 The Eagles have not really had a good homecoming game since 2014, when Obi, Billbury, and company took care of TU. I am planning on coming to Homecoming since they have some new buildings including: the Mike Carter Athletic Center and Welcome Center. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsSmith Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 It's too bad homecoming is in November when families are getting ready for Thanksgiving. The attendance has been down (at least for out of towners) since they moved it from February. Plus we don't get a good game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 IMO the school is telling the alumni that they really don't care if they come back to campus or not. I know homecoming is about more than a basketball game, but it certainly plays a large part in campus spirit and pride. Just look around campus and they can see the effects the athletics program (basketball and now baseball) has had and is continuing to have on the progress (attendance, new buildings and enrollment increases) as well as the reputation and national attention the university is receiving. They should want as many people as possible to come back and see what has been built on the shoulders of those who have gone before. Personally, I would not be able to attend this year, a friend and I are talking seriously about a trip in 2024. A meaningful/competitive game would, be the perfect time for us to return. It doesn't really matter if homecoming is in November or February. ORU needs to figure out how they can celebrate and engage the alumni who still love the school and what it stands for. A better homecoming experience, I think, would be one really good way to accomplish that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
